Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The Liverpool hit-man disposed of Cristiano Ronaldo, who came top the season before. Meanwhile, Carlos Tevez, Robin van Persie, Jamie Carragher and Emanuel Adebayor have all fallen out of the top ten.

New stars to join the most popular include Dimitar Berbatov, Theo Walcott, Frank Lampard and Andrei Arshavin, the latter a remarkable achievement given that he joined Arsenal more than halfway through the season.

The list was compiled by SportingiD as part of the Premier League Season Review.
